THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - All Part of the Process
gomper replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So blowing a 16- 0 lead with 20 minutes to play and having Allen, the D , and McDermott all taking turns in opening the window is not a collapse? I'll be nice and say we see it differently and leave it at that. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - All Part of the Process
gomper replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Um, are you serious? The Bills are the better team. It was a systematic collapse by both sides of the ball. Plus, if you think McDermott's game management and his staff isn't complicit in blowing this game, I guess we'll just have to disagree. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - All Part of the Process
gomper replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I usually love your posts but you letting the entire team and McDermott off big time. Coaching excellence? In that one situation they were prepared properly. Great. That's his job. How about 4th and 27? How about punting on 4th and 4 from the 38? How about his wonderful penchant for having no feel for the correct time to call a TO. The list goes on . No mention of the absolute loss of technique on fundamentals when it comes to tackling. Yes. Watson is exceptional, but let's not let Milano off the hook for not making a play he should have made. I could go on and on. The bottom line is Allen, the D, and the coaching staff all reacted negatively to the increasing pressure in the last 20 minutes of regulation and in OT. Blowing a 16-0 lead in the process. That's the definition of choking. -
Post Playoff Game - Is Josh Allen the Bills Franchise QB?
gomper replied to Bakin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Amen to this. Allen was rattled in the second half but he still got the team to OT then reverted back to his bad habits at the worst possible time. The Ford penalty was a killer. My real is issue the D. Wtf? When it matters most nobody could tackle properly. Not just Milano. Simple fundamentals lost this game. -
In honor of a Buffalo/Houston playoff game

We were so hungover. I sat next to a guy from England who was in town for work. Great day. We nursed beers to ease the pain. Epic tailgate after. -
For What Reason Will You Miss Work Saturday

Requested off a few weeks ago for a "wedding." Foresight is a wonderful thing. -
Where were you during "wide right"?
gomper replied to class_of_2012's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Went to a party for the first half. Spent the second half at the now closed Mexican Joe's in Amherst. Not too many people there. Kick went up and it looked like it was hooking in only to veer sideways. I fell into the cigarette machine. Walked home a mile in a snowstorm. I only had three drinks but I slept for 12 hours. That game took a piece of my soul. -
Patriots Fans are Some of the Worst Fans in Sports

The British should have done their job centuries ago and burned that place to the ground. It's like Alabama and Florida had a child and relocated. -
Is Josh Allen A Good Quarterback??? (Good Film Breakdown)

I subscribe to this guy's channel. He's really good. I watched this today. A fair and objective analysis. -

Absolutely. I love when Chris Cuthbert does games for NBCSN. I wish the Sabres would hire him. -

Don Wittman was one of the most underrated announcers of all time. He did everything exceptionally well and was masterful calling hockey. -

Greg Papa. Voice of the 49'ers. His work on the Ravens game last week was brilliant. -
MNF: Once the best, now the worst show on TV
gomper replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've changed my tune on Collinsworth. I absolutely hated him when he started. Now I think he is fantastic. As many of us here, I've been watching the game for decades. I always judge an analyst by if I learn something new. He's got a great eye for the game. -

Yes. The app can be downloaded. I've used friendlier apps but it's manageable.. -

We just run on SoundCloud. All our pennies go to that platform. -
I've been asked by the mods to time stamp the relevant Bills part of the show. The first 25 minutes or so pertains to the state of journalism today. Feel free to skip if that's not your thing. However, at the 26:00 mark, Jerry recounts a recent tale about what a control freak McDermott is. I have independently verified that this indeed happened. I should have been clearer in my original post. If it gets locked, I'm only doing what others asked me to do. Happy Holidays everyone!

He was great. Talks about the future of print journalism, the "State Radio" of WGR, and the ripple effects of it all.

Do you still have a landline? Why? Why not?
gomper replied to Augie's topic in Off the Wall Archives
We got one last year because her oldest gets home from middle school at least an hour before anyone else. It's an in case of an emergency thing. Once both boys can be trusted not to lose a cell, out it goes. -
Who knows why they put that in. Comic relief? Societal commentary? It doesn't matter. That chase is golden and those roads are no chip shot either.

Old school fun!

I'm to the left of Bernie. To me he doesn't go far enough. That being said, this is ridiculous. They wanted to cut his salary and they did. Ron threw him under the bus too. How did we get to this place? I weep for the future.

RIP Dave. Give the Bills some positive energy wherever you are. I know you will.
